Detailed Description
Hereinafter, a model sharing system and the like according to the embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings and the like. In the following drawings, the same or corresponding portions are designated by the same reference numerals and are used in common throughout the embodiments described below. In the drawings, the relationship between the sizes of the respective components may be different from the actual one. The embodiments of the constituent elements shown throughout the specification are merely examples, and are not limited to the embodiments described in the specification. All the devices described in the specification may not be included. In particular, the combination of the components is not limited to the combination in each embodiment, and the components described in other embodiments may be applied to another embodiment. When it is not necessary to particularly distinguish and identify a plurality of devices of the same kind, etc., which are distinguished by subscripts, reference numerals, subscripts, etc. may be omitted from the description.
Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a model sharing system 1 according to embodiment 1.
The model sharing system 1 shares a plurality of learned heat load models between the control devices 11A and 11B of the plurality of air conditioners 2a and 2B.
The model sharing system 1 includes a model management device 10 and a plurality of control devices 11A and 11B.
The model management device 10 is communicably connected to the control device 11A and the control device 11B via an electrical communication line 13. The model management device 10 and the control devices 11A and 11B can communicate the heat load model.
The model management device 10 includes a communication unit 104, a model providing unit 102, a model registering unit 103, and a model storing unit 101.
The model storage unit 101 stores information indicating the learned heat load model in association with the operating state of the air conditioner.
Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the model storage unit 101.
The model storage unit 101 stores information indicating the heat load models M (1) to M (n) in association with the operating states S (1) to S (n) of the air conditioning apparatus. When the thermal load models M (1) to M (n) are neural networks, the model storage unit 101 stores weighting coefficients of the neural networks as information indicating the thermal load models M (1) to M (n).
The communication unit 104 is configured to be able to communicate with the control devices 11A and 11B via the electric communication line 13.
The model providing unit 102 receives a request for transmission of a heat load model from any one of the control devices 11A and 11B of the plurality of air conditioners.
When the control device 11A is the control device that has transmitted the transmission request, the model providing unit 102 provides the control device 11A of the air conditioner with a heat load model corresponding to an operation state that is the same as or most similar to the operation state of the air conditioner 2a among the plurality of learned heat load models stored in the model storage unit 101. For example, the model providing unit 102 normalizes the two operation states by normalizing the value of each item representing the operation state of the air conditioner 2a and the value of each item representing the operation state stored in the model storage unit 101. The model providing unit 102 calculates the similarity between the operating state of the air conditioner 2a and the operating state stored in the model storage unit 101 based on the euclidean distance between the two operating states after normalization.
When the control device 11B is the control device that has transmitted the transmission request, the model providing unit 102 provides the control device 11B of the air conditioner with the heat load model corresponding to the operation state that is the same as or most similar to the operation state of the air conditioner 2B among the plurality of learned heat load models stored in the model storage unit 101. For example, the model providing unit 102 normalizes the two operation states by normalizing the value of each item representing the operation state of the air conditioner 2b and the value of each item representing the operation state stored in the model storage unit 101. The model providing unit 102 calculates the similarity between the operating state of the air conditioner 2b and the operating state stored in the model storage unit 101 based on the euclidean distance between the two operating states after normalization.
The above-described method of calculating the similarity is an example. The method of calculating the similarity may be any method as long as it is a method of calculating based on the operation state. For example, the normalized values may be weighted.
The model registration unit 103 acquires a set of the learned heat load model and the operating state of the air conditioner transmitted from either of the control devices 11A and 11B. The model registration unit 103 stores the acquired learned thermal load model in the model storage unit 101 in association with the acquired operating state of the air conditioner.

The model storage unit 110A stores a learned heat load model obtained by additionally learning the learned heat load model obtained from the model management device 10 or the learned heat load model obtained from the model management device 10.
The operation state collection unit 111A collects information on the operation state of the air conditioner 2 a.
The control unit 112A issues a transmission request of a heat load model in which the operating state of the air conditioner 2A is specified. The control unit 112A acquires the learned thermal load model transmitted from the model management device 10 in response to the transmission request of the thermal load model, and stores the acquired thermal load model in the model storage unit 110A. The learned heat load model transmitted from the model management device 10 corresponds to an operation state that is the same as or most similar to the operation state of the air conditioner 2a included in the transmission request.
The learning unit 113A operates the air conditioner 2a to acquire input data of a heat load model for additional learning and teacher data. The learning unit 113A additionally learns the heat load model stored in the model storage unit 110A using the acquired input data and teacher data.
The control unit 112A controls the air conditioner 2A using the additionally learned heat load model. The communication unit 115A executes a control command from the control unit 112A to the air conditioner 2A and communication of sensor data from the air conditioner 2A to the control unit 112A.
The communication unit 114A transmits the additionally learned heat load model to the model management device 10 together with the operating state of the air conditioner 2 a.
The configuration of the control device 11B is also the same as that of the control device 11A, and therefore, description thereof will not be repeated.
Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the air conditioner 2 a.
The air conditioner 2a includes an outdoor unit 50 and a plurality of indoor units 40a and 40b.
The outdoor unit 50 includes: a compressor 51 that compresses and discharges a refrigerant; a heat source side heat exchanger 52 that exchanges heat between the outside air and the refrigerant; and a four-way valve 53 that switches the direction of refrigerant flow according to the operation mode.

The compressor 51 is, for example, an inverter type compressor capable of changing capacity by changing an operating frequency. The expansion devices 42a and 42b are, for example, electronic expansion valves.
In the outdoor unit 50 and the indoor unit 40a, the compressor 51, the heat source side heat exchanger 52, the expansion device 42a, and the load side heat exchanger 41a are connected to constitute a refrigerant circuit 60 in which a refrigerant circulates. In the outdoor unit 50 and the indoor unit 40b, the compressor 51, the heat source side heat exchanger 52, the expansion device 42b, and the load side heat exchanger 41b are connected to constitute a refrigerant circuit 60 in which a refrigerant circulates.
The configuration of the air conditioner 2b is the same as that of the air conditioner 2a, and therefore, description thereof will not be repeated.
Fig. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of the control of the air conditioner 2A by the control unit 112A.
When the indoor unit 40a is operated, the control unit 112A controls the operating frequency of the compressor 51 and the opening degree of the expansion device 42A based on the outside air temperature detected by the outside air temperature sensor 54, the room temperature detected by the indoor temperature sensor 43a, and the set temperature.

When the indoor units 40a and 40b are operated, the control unit 112A controls the operating frequency of the compressor 51 and the opening degrees of the expansion devices 42A and 42b based on the outside air temperature detected by the outside air temperature sensor 54, the room temperature and the set temperature of the indoor unit 40a, and the room temperature and the set temperature of the indoor unit 40b.
The control unit 112A switches the flow path of the four-way valve 53 between when the operation mode of the air conditioner is the cooling operation mode and when the operation mode is the heating operation mode.
The control unit 112A controls additional learning of the learned heat load model stored in the model storage unit 110A. The control unit 112A controls the air conditioner 2A during operation using the learned heat load model stored in the model storage unit 110A.
The control of the air conditioner 2B by the control unit 112B is the same as the control of the air conditioner 2A by the control unit 112A, and therefore, the description thereof will not be repeated.
The learning unit 113A generates a thermal load model using supervised learning using learning data. The learning unit 113A corrects the thermal load model (additional learning) by using supervised learning using additional learning data. Supervised learning refers to learning features in learning data composed of input and results (labels) by giving a large number of sets of the learning data to a learning unit. This enables the estimation result to be input (generalization).
Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the heat load model.
As shown in fig. 5, the thermal load model is composed of a neural network. The neural network is composed of the following layers: an input layer composed of a plurality of neurons, an intermediate layer (hidden layer) composed of a plurality of neurons, and an output layer composed of a plurality of neurons. The intermediate layer may be one or more than two layers. Input data x (i) is given to the i-th cell of the input layer. The output data Z is output from the output layer.
The input data X (1) to X (n) are data indicating factors affecting the heat load of the air conditioner 2. The output data Z is data indicating the heat load of the air conditioner 2.

As shown in fig. 7, the output data Z of the heat load model is the time from the start of the operation of the indoor unit 40 until the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature.
Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the operating state.
The operation state comprises the following steps: the type of the air conditioner 2, the environment in which the air conditioner 2 is installed, and the settings of the air conditioner 2.
The types of air conditioners 2 include: at least one of the number of outdoor units 50 of the air-conditioning apparatus 2, the number of indoor units 40 of the air-conditioning apparatus 2, and the manufacturing number of the air-conditioning apparatus 2.

The setting of the air conditioner 2 includes the amount of change in the indoor temperature over a certain period of time due to the operation of the air conditioner 2.
The control unit 112A acquires the heat load model from the model management device 10 based on the operating state of the air conditioner 2A. The learning unit 113A additionally learns the acquired heat load model using the learning data obtained at the time of the test operation.
The control unit 112A gives input data to the additionally learned heat load model during operation of the air conditioner 2A, and acquires output data of the additionally learned heat load model. The input data is at least one of a difference between the set temperature and the outside air temperature, a difference between the set temperature and the indoor temperature, and a frequency of a compressor provided in the air conditioner. The output data is the time from the start of the operation of the indoor unit 40 until the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature. For example, the control unit 112A determines a schedule such as an operation start time of the air conditioner 2A based on the output data.
Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing a procedure in which the control device 11A acquires the heat load model from the model management device 10 immediately after the operation of embodiment 1.
In step S101, the operation state collection unit 111A of the control device 11A acquires the operation state of the air conditioner 2 a. In the air conditioner 2a, since the indoor temperature, the number of outdoor units 50, and the number of indoor units 40, which change over a certain period of time, greatly affect the control, the operation state collection unit 111A acquires these pieces of information.
The values of the respective items of the operating state are set to an upper limit value and a lower limit value. When the value of each item of the acquired operation state of the air conditioner 2a exceeds the upper limit value, the operation state collection unit 111A lowers the value of each item to the upper limit value. When the value of each item of the acquired operation state of the air conditioner 2a is lower than the lower limit value, the operation state collection unit 111A increases the value of each item to the lower limit value.
In step S102, the control unit 112A of the control device 11A transmits a transmission request specifying the learned heat load model of the operating state acquired in step S101.
In step S103, the communication unit 114A of the control device 11A transmits a transmission request for specifying the learned heat load model of the operation state issued in step S102 to the model management device 10.
In step S104, the communication unit 104 of the model management device 10 receives a request for transmitting the learned thermal load model in which the operating state is specified.
In step S105, the model providing unit 102 of the model management device 10 outputs the learned heat load model corresponding to the operation state that is the same as or most similar to the specified operation state among the heat load models stored in the model storage unit 101 to the communication unit 104.
In step S106, the communication unit 104 of the model management device 10 transmits the learned heat load model output from the model providing unit 102 to the control device 11A that has issued the transmission request.
In step S107, the communication unit 114A of the control device 11A receives the learned heat load model.
In step S108, the control unit 112A of the control device 11A stores the received learned heat load model in the model storage unit 110A.
The procedure for the control device 11B to obtain the heat load model from the model management device 10 immediately after the operation is the same as that in fig. 9, and therefore, the description thereof will not be repeated.
Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing a procedure of performing additional learning by the control device 11A according to embodiment 1.
In step S201, the control unit 112A of the control device 11A performs a test operation of the air conditioner 2A to acquire additional learning data for learning, which is composed of input data and teacher data.
In step S202, the control unit 112A of the control device 11A reads the heat load model stored in the model storage unit 110A. The control unit 112A additionally learns the read thermal load model using the acquired learning data for additional learning.
In step S203, the operation state collection unit 111A of the control device 11A acquires the operation state of the air conditioner 2 a. The operation state collection unit 111A acquires information on, for example, the indoor temperature, the number of outdoor units 50, and the number of indoor units 40 that change over a certain period of time.
